Kalakanti is a crime comedy

After injuring his thumb in an accident on the sets of his next and undergoing a surgery, the actor has resumed shooting for the comedy.

Shooting for Delhi Belly writer Akshat Verma's next, Kala Kanti, which kicked off in the first week of June, came to a grinding halt last week after its leading man, Saif Ali Khan, hurt his thumb in a freak accident and had to undergo surgery.

According to Verma, the shoot is now back on track. "We are shooting as we speak, Saif is back on the sets. We are still trying to figure out our schedule but things are on as planned."

And while the director remained tightlipped on the film's details, a source from the team informed Mirror, "It's a crimecomedy about three men from different backgrounds whose paths cross one fateful night when they unwittingly become a part of a crime. It also features Deepak Dobriyal and Neil Bhoopalam. Neil's character will be sporting a disguise throughout the film."

Deepak who is currently holidaying in Italy confirmed that he's signed the film but is yet to start shooting. Neil also admitted that he was on board while Kunaal Roy Kapur said, "I have been approached for the film. It's an amazing script, quirky, much like Delhi Belly, but I have yet to decide if I will be a part of it."
